Chapter 65: Giving You Face, No More Roasted Chicken Wings

"……"

The entire scene fell into a dead silence!

Roast…… roasted chicken wings?

On top of the Spiritual Realm Tower…… roasting chicken wings? Is this guy crazy?

Everyone was stunned on the spot, their faces filled with astonishment and oddity.

The group of cultivators who had come over from the second stage, after their initial shock, couldn't help but burst into laughter again.

"Pfft, hahaha, I…… I'm impressed! Young Hero Hua is truly gifted and overflowing with talent!"

"Only Young Hero Hua could come up with such a brilliant plan."

"No, no, I think this must be a hobby of those ruthless people from the Exploding Heaven Gang."

"How so?"

"I once heard that on the borders of our Fire Origin Kingdom, there was a ruthless person from the Exploding Heaven Gang named Xiao Yan. After killing the Young Gang Leader of a sect, he started roasting chicken wings on the spot, waiting for the Gang Leader and several Hall Masters to bring people to kill him. In the end, after he was full and satisfied, that Xiao Yan wiped out the entire sect in just a few moves."

"Wow!"

The group of people was in an uproar!

So it turns out the ruthless people of the Exploding Heaven Gang all love roasting chicken wings!

……

Several disciples of the Fragrant Sky Valley were also left stunned and completely confused. In all the rounds of assessment, this was the first time they had encountered such a situation.

First drilling wood to make fire, then roasting chicken wings—is he here to pass the trial or to eat, drink, and have fun?

Finally, a male disciple with a higher cultivation level stepped out and said indifferently: "I originally thought his drilling wood to make fire was an attempt to hurt people. Since it's just roasting chicken wings, logically speaking, it shouldn't affect you all, right? If your divine souls were strong enough, how could you be easily influenced by others?"

"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"

Suddenly, several crisp sounds rang out in succession. On the second floor, apart from Xu Que's wooden token, all other wooden tokens were absorbed by the Spiritual Realm Tower.

Immediately after, several cultivators were teleported out simultaneously, their faces filled with resentment.

Everyone present was dumbfounded. What…… what kind of trick did that black-robed youth pull this time?

"……" The several Fragrant Sky Valley disciples couldn't sit still either, and asked in a stern voice: "What did that black-robed person do again?"

"He was roasting chicken wings! Several Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, we are not convinced, we request a re-assessment." The several cultivators said in unison, their faces filled with excitement and grievance.

The Fragrant Sky Valley disciples immediately frowned: "Still roasting chicken wings? How could that possibly affect you all?"

The several cultivators immediately put on mournful faces: "He…… the chicken wings he roasted were too fragrant……"

Everyone: "……"

"Nonsense, are chicken wings food that can be eaten? Let alone roasting them to produce a fragrance."

"It is indeed absurd. If you said he was drilling wood to make fire and using smoke to choke people, that would be plausible. But he was just roasting chicken wings; if that could still affect you, then it really is a bit hard to justify." Many cultivators shook their heads, not believing the words of those few.

"That's right, Young Hero Hua was hungry while passing the trial, can't he roast some chicken wings to eat?" The cultivators from the second stage, fearing no chaos, also joined in the heckling.

Those few people were instantly on the verge of tears, indignantly saying: "If you don't believe me, go up and see for yourselves. I don't believe that under that kind of smell, you could still maintain your composure and concentrate your divine souls. It's absolutely impossible."

"He is already preparing to go to the third floor. If you don't believe me, just wait and see how many more people will be teleported out."

……

Several Fragrant Sky Valley disciples frowned and looked at each other.

"What should we do?"

"If what they say is true, this round of assessment will be in chaos."

"How about… opening the tower window to see what's going on?"

"I think that's feasible!"

After consulting, the disciples nodded one after another, deciding to open the Spiritual Realm Tower's window to see the situation above.

The disciple responsible for opening the entrance walked to the bottom of the tower again, took out an iron token, performed a hand seal, and slammed it onto the tower body!

"Clang!"

The crisp sound rang out like a great bell, slowly spreading.

The entire crowd fell silent and turned their heads to look.

A vertical beam of light suddenly appeared on the second floor of the Spiritual Realm Tower, and then, like a scroll being unfurled, it slowly revealed a scene.

The situation on the second floor clearly appeared before everyone's eyes.

At the same time, a rich fragrance wafted over—it was the mellow aroma of charcoal grilling, along with cumin, five-spice, chili……

"Hiss!"

The people outside the tower instantly gasped.

"This…… this smell is incredible, isn't it too fragrant?"

"How could mere chicken wings be roasted to produce such a refreshing and heart-soothing fragrance……"

"It can simply be described as mouth-watering; I actually feel a bit hungry myself!"

"No wonder they couldn't concentrate their divine souls. If it were me, I probably wouldn't be able to hold on either!"

……

Everyone exclaimed in amazement.

Meanwhile, Xu Que was squatting on the ground gnawing on a chicken wing when he suddenly felt the wall distort. He quickly turned his head to look and was instantly stunned.

"Holy crap, this wall can turn into a transparent floor-to-ceiling glass window? How high-end!"

He stood up, walked to the window, and while gnawing on a chicken wing, looked down to see the crowd of cultivators under the tower staring blankly at him!

He bit into a piece of crispy, tender skin on the middle part of the chicken wing. With a soft "crunch," he bit down on a mouthful of tender meat and tore it off.

"Gulp!"

Many cultivators were dumbfounded; some couldn't help but swallow their saliva, while others twitched their mouths repeatedly!

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Reward: 30 Acting Cool Points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Reward: 40 Acting Cool Points!"

……

Xu Que swallowed the wing meat, squinted his eyes at the crowd below the tower, and asked with a smile: "Fellow Daoists, what can I do for you?"

"……"

Everyone was speechless.

Several Fragrant Sky Valley disciples were also stunned, until the leading male disciple came to his senses and said with a bitter face: "Daoist friend, what are you trying to do?"

"What do you mean? Can't I eat something when I'm hungry? You didn't stipulate that we can't eat chicken wings in the tower!" Xu Que glared.

The male disciple's mouth twitched, and he said with a wry smile: "Eating is fine, but…… can you not make such fragrant food?"

"If I don't eat fragrant food, should I eat smelly food instead?"

"Daoist friend…… please cooperate, otherwise this round will be in chaos." The Fragrant Sky Valley disciple said helplessly. After all, they really hadn't stipulated that food couldn't be eaten in the tower, so they could only persuade him gently.

Xu Que thought for a moment, his eyes lit up slightly, and he said indifferently: "So as long as I don't make it too fragrant, right?"

"Yes, as long as you don't make such fragrant food, you can eat whatever you want." The Fragrant Sky Valley disciple nodded.

"Fine, I'll give you face and stop eating roasted chicken wings." Xu Que agreed very readily, threw the gnawed chicken wing onto the ground, and turned to walk toward the third floor.

"Many thanks, Daoist friend!" The Fragrant Sky Valley disciple immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Only the few cultivators who had come from the second stage had their eyelids twitching repeatedly.

"Something's wrong! Since when is this murderous maniac so easy to talk to?"

"I have a feeling something bad is about to happen……"

The few people were full of suspicion, their eyes fixed on the scene in the tower window.

Xu Que didn't bring anything with him, just walked onto the stairs leading to the third floor, and at the same time…… asked the system: "System, do you sell stinky tofu?" ===== CHAPTER 66 =====
